Brock Lesnar Appears at UFC 226; Scheduled to Fight Daniel Cormier Later This Year

-- WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar appeared at UFC 226 last night, sitting cageside for the main event between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic. After Cormier won the match via first round knockout, Lesnar was invited into the octagon and entered, cutting a profanity laden promo and shoving Cormier across the cage. It is rumored that the two will face off November 3 which would mean that Lesnar has already re-entered the USADA testing pool, but that the organization is keeping his status hidden.

-- Interestingly, WWE.com reported on all this with the following article:

We don't know who the next challenger for Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship will be, but we do know his upcoming opponent — UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier.

After Cormier knocked Miocic out in the first round to become both the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and UFC Heavyweight Champion, he called out Lesnar and invited him into the octagon. Brock immediately shoved the new champ across the cage before delivering a profanity-laden tirade on the microphone.

Later in the night, during the post-show press conference, UFC President Dana White confirmed that Cormier vs. Lesnar would be happening in the future. He added that no date had been set.

Speculation has run rampant over Lesnar’s future for much of this year, starting with Lesnar posing for photos next to White on the night of WWE Elimination Chamber 2018. Lesnar last competed in UFC in July 2016.
